This message is actually from ImageMagick, not RMagick. When you run 
ImageMagick's configuration script, use the --with-gs-font-dir option:

./configure --with-gs-font-dir=/usr/share/type1/gsfonts ...other options...

See http://rmagick.rubyforge.org/install-linux.html and 
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advanced-unix-installation.php for 
more information, and drop me a line at rmagick at rubyforge dot org if 
you need help.

Good luck!
